The
New Hampshire Poll is an independent poll that has surveyed
New
Hampshire
residents on social, political, and economic issues on a regular
basis since 1976. Quarterly surveys are conducted in March,
June, September, and December.

The first New Hampshire
Poll was completed over 40 years ago and while the political
players
in the state have changed,
the major issues have not. In December 1976, concern over high
property taxes was the most
important problem facing the state and voters were opposed
to a state sales tax and a state income
tax. Voters were also opposed to state-run gambling. For a
look back at some of the numbers
and players, go to December 1976.
